How to Incorporate Pantone’s “Reminiscence” Palette into Your Home

While the Pantone palette Forest Bathing featured a walk in nature, the Reminiscence palette is all about a walk down memory lane. Think sepia, but with a modern twist. Pantone mixed traditional shades like blue and brown with new colors like olive green and teal to keep the palette feeling fresh. So how can a color palette conjure up a feeling? It’s all about the texture here, whether you go for rattan, wicker or warm wood to make your space feel like a nod to the past… in a totally good way. Scroll down to see how these 18 gorgeous spaces rock the Pantone’s 2017 Reminiscence palette.
